All our switchlocks comply with LVD and CE regulations.

Pushlocks

Pushlocks (or ‘plunger locks’) are spring-loaded cylindrical locks with a locking pin at the rear.

Generally, these are used on sliding doors or other applications where the lock is required to prevent lateral movement.

Normally, pushlocks work on a push-to-lock/key-to-unlock principle. Pushing the lock ‘head’ moves the central barrel and the locking pin, which protrudes at the rear to lock the application. A turn of the key allows the spring-loaded barrel to ‘pop out’ to the open position and retract the locking pin. As an alternative, we also offer a key-to-lock/key-to-unlock action.

These versatile locks are used for securing display cases, cabinets, street furniture, cupboard doors, boxes, drawers, juke boxes, pool tables and many other applications.

Many of the radial pin tumbler pushlocks feature our award winning ‘Octagon’ mechanism, which makes unauthorised key duplication virtually impossible. We offer conventional 7-pin and 10-pin types for when unit cost is the primary requirement.

You also have the option of a changeable combination (or ‘reprogrammable’) type known as ‘Camatic’, which enables you to restore security quickly and easily if a key is lost or stolen.

In addition, the range includes disc tumbler pushlocks and a simple, tamper-proof, triangular drive ‘spanner lock’.

Case study: Automated
Cash Recycler

Camlock Systems were able to provide a high-security solution in quick time and high quantities when a major cash handling OEM required 10,000 cylinders for a brand new project.

Kiosk

The Brief

A major original equipment manufacturer of cash handling kiosks required 10,000 mechanical cylinders for a new project in less than 10 weeks, followed by an ongoing supply. Their previous vendor could not meet the necessary delivery schedule, so they turned to Camlock Systems for assistance. As the product will secure cash, a high-security product with key control was essential.

Camlock systems solutions

Our team consulted with the manufacturer regarding technical specifications to determine the best product and after some review, the OctagonPush Lock was selected.

Camlock Systems demonstrated their best-in-the-industry delivery time and filled the first half of the order in three weeks, with the remainder arriving less than three weeks after that. While the locks were in production, Camlock SYstems worked with the customer to register all key codes and to ensure that only authorized parties could reorder keys. The customer even tested our key registration system by placing a hoax request for keys, which didn't pass our stringent procedures, reassuring the customer that our system is as secure as we promise. Swift action by Camlock Systems and a commitment to our promises ensured the customer received the right product with plenty of time to spare, with all keys properly protected from compromise.
